 Diet mixed drinks make you drunker, more likely to drink and driveBy David Gutierrez, February 11 2013
(NaturalNews) Mixed drinks made with diet beverages make you drunker than other drinks, but you can't feel the difference, according to a study conducted by researchers from Northern Kentucky University and published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research. That may cause people to get behind the wheel without realizing how impaired they actually are.
Although numerous studies have examined the way that alcohol interacts with the human body, nearly all of them have been conducted...
 Victory! South Carolina upholds freedom of residents to buy, sell raw milkBy Ethan A. Huff, February 11 2013
(NaturalNews) We are excited to report that food freedom has won out in South Carolina, where a factory farm front group recently tried, but failed, to stamp out longstanding state laws that recognize the freedom of individuals to buy and sell raw milk throughout the Palmetto State. And all of you, our valued readers, helped make this possible by calling and emailing the South Carolina Farm Bureau (SCFB) in the eleventh hour and urging the group to oppose this attempted assault on an all-natural...
 Homeland security encourages Americans to fight back against crazed shooters using scissorsBy J. D. Heyes, February 11 2013
(NaturalNews) Run. Hide. Fight. That is the basis of a new course of instruction from the Department of Homeland Security in the event you are unfortunate enough to be in a business, workplace or other location where there is an "active shooter" - a crazed gunman who is trying to kill anyone he can.
Two of the three options - run and hide - are appropriate, given the reality that in this day and age, the concept of meeting equal force with force (the very core of concealed carry laws) is foreign...
Dumbed-down populations accept outrageous vaccine logicBy Jon Rappoport, February 11 2013
(NaturalNews) I've written articles attacking the theory and practice of vaccination from a variety of angles. But the whole issue also needs to be approached from the perspective of logic.
Unfortunately, generations of people have been shut out of learning logic in school. They don't know what it is. Therefore, vaccine advocates have been able to peddle their basic theory without much challenge.
It's time to put an end to that free ride.
First of all, I need to point out a massive contradiction...
 Moon planting: The art of gardening in accord with lunar cyclesBy Michael Ravensthorpe, February 11 2013
(NaturalNews) Moon planting (also called moon gardening) is a holistic form of gardening in which the gardener plants his or her vegetables and flowers in accordance with moon phases. It has origins in ancient times, possibly in Babylon or Egypt, when man ascertained the time of day by consulting the stars, moon, and sun. The essence of moon planting is that different plants seem to grow better when they are planted during different moon phases, since the moon phases affect the rising and falling...

 Good doctors feel their patients' pain, literallyBy David Gutierrez, February 11 2013
(NaturalNews) In a new study that helps illuminate why a good doctor-patient relationship is so important, researchers have found that doctors' brains respond to patients' experiences the same way they would respond to their own. The study was conducted by researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School, and published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry.
"Our findings showed that the same brain regions that have previously been shown...
 21 minutes a year to save your marriageBy David Gutierrez, February 11 2013

Prior studies have shown that in the average marriage, affection between spouses gradually declines...
 Magnesium: Helping people achieve better healthBy Sandeep Godiyal, February 11 2013
(NaturalNews) Magnesium is one of the many minerals that are essential in improving overall health. It is known as the fourth most abundant mineral found in the human body. Around 50 percent of the magnesium in the body can be found in the bones while the remaining 50 percent is present within the cells of organs and tissues. A deficiency of this essential mineral triggers a lot of problems including those that affect digestion and sleep quality, and high blood pressure or hypertension. Among the...
 Can positive video games make us better people?By David Gutierrez, February 11 2013
(NaturalNews) A computer simulation giving people temporary superpowers may actually cause them to behave more empathetically in real life, according to a study conducted by researchers from Stanford University and published in the journal PLOS ONE.
Because prior research has shown that playing violent video games can produce aggressive behavior, the researchers sought to see whether a similar effect could be produced with empathy. Researchers decided to use Stanford's Virtual Human Interaction...
 Argentina's regime leader Kirchner freezes food prices, pushes country toward food shortages and riotsBy Mike Adams, February 11 2013
(NaturalNews) A few days ago, Argentina's populist female president Cristina Kirchner ordered a price freeze on food products. This price freeze was levied against the largest food retailers in the country, and it is just the latest example of utterly insane economic policies made by populist national leaders who inevitably end up causing massive suffering and economic damage to the nations they claim to lead.
In case you're not familiar with Kirchner, this woman is a mafia-style criminal, a populist...
 More people bailing out of Facebook; is a FB collapse imminent?By PF Louis, February 9 2013
(NaturalNews) Facebook caught on fast and furious to become the premier social networking platform in the world. In 2003, Mark Zuckerberg, depicted in the movie "The Social Network" as a brash Harvard sophomore who cared not about others' thoughts and/or feelings, started a social networking interface called Facemash.
Facemash was initially for Harvard students. It's name soon morphed into TheFacebook. Mark inspired technical help and financing from three other Harvard students who eventually...

 Gun control advocates refuse to place 'gun free zone' signs in their own front yardsBy J. D. Heyes, February 9 2013
(NaturalNews) They don't mind publishing the names of law-abiding gun owners living in their area, violating their privacy and putting them in danger, but when it comes to news publishers, editors and columnists letting the public know they live in a gun-free zone - a statement of principle that could put them in danger, well, that's a different story.
It is a small irony highlighted by a group known as "Project VERITAS" in a new 10-minute video that puts the hypocrisy of the issue front and center...
 School nurse all but calls me a murderer for refusing to vaccinate my daughtersBy Mike Bundrant, February 9 2013
(NaturalNews) "I am a public health of official," the nurse said with authority as she pointed to the hokey-looking certificate on the wall. "So it is my duty to inform you of the risks you are taking by refusing to vaccinate your children."
My twin daughters go to public middle school and I do refuse to vaccinate them. In California this year, there is a mandatory whooping cough vaccination of seventh graders. Even though a child may have received the "Tdap" vaccine earlier in life, the new claim...

 10 things the media don't want to discover about Sandy HookBy Jon Rappoport, February 9 2013
(NaturalNews) Slashing through the bland authoritative front the media have presented, people want to know more about the Sandy Hook massacre. But the elite networks have no intention of answering the most obvious questions.
Why? Because the follow-up agenda of gun control is all important, and the official Sandy Hook scenario must stand, in order to forward that agenda.
Any return to the scene of the crime will:

 How eating a high fat diet can starve cancerBy PF Louis, February 9 2013
(NaturalNews) What does it take to disabuse the majority of food consumers that a no or low fat diet is actually unhealthy. There have been conventional cardiologists who've recently asserted that we need healthy fats to maintain good cardiovascular health.
They have debunked the myth of cholesterol as the cause of clogged arteries and heart attacks and warned about statin drugs' dangers. Statin drugs do lower cholesterol.
But brain and nervous system tissue need cholesterol and other types...

 Vitamin D compound may help skin lotions reduce DNA damage by up to 80 percentBy Summer Tierney, February 9 2013
(NaturalNews) Though the mainstream sunscreen and skin care industries have a rather long way to go in correcting certain misinformation propaganda of decades gone by, the market may soon experience at least a slight shift in direction. Initial reports out of Australia indicate that researchers there say a new vitamin D-like compound might prove beneficial as a means of reducing DNA damage that leads to skin cancer, including a reduction in wrinkles and dark spots which can appear as a result of...

 America, land of the 'quick fix' cultureBy Mike Adams, February 9 2013
(NaturalNews) Think you might someday get breast cancer? There's a quick fix for that: Chop 'em off! It's called a "preventive double mastectomy" and surgeons are right now successfully convincing women who don't even have breast cancer to have both their breasts surgically removed.
Is your government drowning in debt? There's a quick fix for that: Print more money! Don't worry about currency debasement and the long-term blowout collapse of the U.S. dollar that will bankrupt the nation. We need...

 How to beat recurring UTIs without prescription drugsBy Ethan A. Huff, February 8 2013
(NaturalNews) Conventional medicine has little to offer in the way of treating chronic urinary tract infections (UTIs) other than to prescribe heavy doses of antibiotic drugs and perhaps recommend that patients get more rest. But oftentimes these commonplace methods are not enough to provide lasting relief, and in the case of antibiotics; may actually make the problem worse. For many UTI patients, a combination of dietary changes and supplementation, not more drugs, is what is actually needed to...
 Gun control push causing mass awakening among conservatives about psychiatric drugsBy J. D. Heyes, February 8 2013
(NaturalNews) Well, Natural News has been making the connection for some time now, and it appears that, finally, other media outlets are beginning to do the same thing: Other media outlets, including the so-called conservative press - which has been reluctant to do so until recently - are reporting that many of the mass murders committed over the past 10-15 years have involved shooters who were taking, or had been taking, some sort of prescription psychotropic.

 Approaching the existential cliff: 17 denial statements made by the sleeping massesBy Mike Bundrant, February 8 2013
(NaturalNews) People who are awake these days have reason to be gravely concerned. Although there may still hope to be had, there are sobering signs of a looming "existential cliff." The existential cliff is the point at which the human race cannot recover from damage done by the human race - or its elitist power structure.
Patch Adams, MD, once told me that the existential cliff is around 2025. I don't know where he got his info, but he claimed he'd read 1500 books along the way to that conclusion...
 Best foods to halt chronic arthritis painBy PF Louis, February 8 2013
(NaturalNews) Using pharmaceutical drugs, whether prescribed or over-the-counter (OTC), for reducing chronic arthritic pain may seem like the only solution at first. But over time, health damaging side effects accrue even if unnoticed at first.

 Obama supporters wildly ignorant about Obama; $100 offered to any person who can correctly answer three of five questionsBy J. D. Heyes, February 8 2013
(NaturalNews) To millions of his supporters, President Obama is a cult figure who can do no wrong. Some have even speculated that many supporters wouldn't care if they witnessed him committing a felony.
But as much as they worship him, scores of Obama's supporters don't know very much about the man they idolize. This was brilliantly demonstrated recently by a group called We Are Change, a play on Obama's first-term "hope and change" campaign. Members of the group traveled to Washington, D.C. to...

 What's behind the punishment for fake guns in schools?By Jon Rappoport, February 8 2013
(NaturalNews) In the latest episode of Ban Fake Guns, we have a boy suspended from school in Florence, Arizona, for carrying, yes, a picture of a gun on his computer. Screen saver. This is surely a sign of complete mental breakdown by school officials. And yet one more reason to home school.
Steve Watson, writing at infowars, runs down the recent litany of fake gun crimes at schools across America, resulting in student suspensions, suspension hearings, and actual school lockdowns:

 Delaware lawmakers trying to destroy sheriffs and strip them of legal powerBy J. D. Heyes, February 8 2013
(NaturalNews) Historically, the local county sheriff has been considered to be the highest authority in the land, wielding more power than city, state and even federal authorities. In Delaware; however, that power is under attack, according to one of the state's three county authorities.
Sheriff Jeffrey Christopher says when he was elected to office in 2010, he believed he was supposed to represent his constituents as the highest-ranking law enforcement authority in the county. Instead, he has...

However, according to scientists at the University of Toronto, early birds have the biggest reason to celebrate: Morning people tend to be healthier and far more content with their lives than evening people.
The scientists asked 435 younger volunteers between the ages...

 Homeland Security buying 7,000 'assault rifles' that government doesn't want citizens to ownBy J. D. Heyes, February 7 2013
(NaturalNews) The Obama White House and several members of Congress don't want you to have military look-alike rifles they say are unnecessary for self-defense, but apparently this administration has no problem arming itself with the same weapons...for personal defense.
As such, the Department of Homeland Security is looking to buy 7,000 5.56x45mm NATO "personal defense weapons" (PDW) for its personnel - guns that are called "assault weapons" when civilians own them.
